When the oppressive and terrifying voice came from above, Lin Feng felt the surrounding air suddenly heat up.

The blood mist released by Vivian had almost completely covered the demon's stone, but now a murky shockwave erupted from the stone, instantly dispersing all the blood mist. Even Vivian herself was pushed back several steps by the shockwave. She looked at the slowly disappearing blood power, a look of incredulity on her face. "This... what a waste, there was still something to feed on!"

Lin Feng was immediately taken out of the scene—this vampire's habit of self-destructing after exhausting her resources was simply ruining the atmosphere.

At this moment, Muyun was holding a several-meter-long giant stone pillar and smashing it violently. The commotion was so great that the entire castle ruins seemed to be trembling like an earthquake. However, the terrifying sound from the sky made her stop abruptly. The werewolf girl, shocked, raised her head and saw that the sky was already covered with dark clouds.

The starlight and moonlight had disappeared, replaced by a large swath of murky black and red clouds converging from all directions. The cloud layer was so thick and substantial that it seemed to be a swamp inverted in the sky, terrifying and nauseating. As the clouds gathered, a dark red firelight also began to spread behind the dense clouds, as if a continuous sea of fire was carried above the dark clouds. In the brightest part of the firelight, a vortex-shaped opening was slowly forming, and the immense sense of oppression emanated from that opening, accompanied by unbearable waves of heat.

The firelight in the cloud layer was not illusory. It truly carried a sea of fire from the demon's space.

"It's so hot, so hot..." Muyun swung the giant stone pillar several meters long, smashing the undead armors into irreparable iron pancakes, while shouting frantically and sweeping away the enemies. However, the weathered giant stone pillar couldn't withstand this "usage" at all. After a few swings, it cracked with a snap. Muyun was stunned for a moment, but the surrounding almost crazed undead armors gave her no time to recover. So she had to throw away the stone pillar and continue to pick up the one-meter-long "bricks" nearby and throw them around, shouting, "Get out of here! Have you had enough! Landlord, I'm done playing, I want to go home..."

As the sky continued to gather clouds, the undead guards in the castle seemed to go mad along with it. The Leta runes on their bodies were glowing red, as if they had just been branded with a hot iron. Muyun was cleaning up all the undead by herself. Although she could still cope, it was obvious that she was quite frightened by this drastic change. Lin Feng could almost hear a hint of crying in her voice: this was indeed just a "little cub" among her kind, still too young.

But Lin Feng wasn't that much older—after all, he hadn't even married yet!

Vivian flew to Lin Feng's side with a flap of her wings, the vampire girl exuding a cold breath, which finally dissipated the unbearable heat in the air. Lin Feng's spirits lifted in this cold air, and he finally spoke, "What's going on?"

"I... don't know," Vivian's face remained incredulous, still unable to understand where she had gone wrong, "It was going so smoothly at first, and I had sensed that the owner of the demon's stone should be about the same strength as me. As long as I was careful with the seal and relied on the moonlight's power, it should have been foolproof... but I don't know why it went out of control! The way this stone operates is completely different from the demon's stones I'm familiar with. It..."

"Alright, alright, I don't understand anyway." Lin Feng reached out and pressed Vivian's shoulder. He felt like there was something echoing loudly in his mind, making it hard to concentrate even mentally. "Why do I feel like my head is full of noise?"

"The power of demons can impact the minds of ordinary people!" Vivian said loudly, but she knew that her blood magic, which drove away mental contamination, was useless on Lin Feng. Even if she was anxious, she couldn't help. So she had to prepare for battle herself: the vampire girl suddenly flew into the air, her huge bat wings expanding abruptly. Countless blood-red streams of light appeared in mid-air behind her, converging into a complex pattern measuring hundreds of meters in diameter, a strong sense of pressure emanating from the girl that far exceeded Vivian's usual performance. It was a power that Lin Feng had never seen before.

A beam of light suddenly pierced through the thick dark clouds in the sky. The cloud layer seemed to be forcibly torn open, and an exceptionally bright silver moon appeared from behind the rift. Lin Feng's attention was immediately drawn to this spectacle. He thought it was the moon that had been obscured before reappearing, but he quickly realized that the time was wrong; the moon shouldn't still be in that position. Then he noticed that the silver moon in the sky was much larger than usual, and the clearly visible wood-like patterns on its surface were also unprecedented.

But before he could see more clearly, the surface of the silver moon was covered with a layer of blood-like crimson, and the entire moon almost completely turned into a blood-red sphere. The red ominous light shed from the sky even overwhelmed the sea of fire in the cloud layer in that instant. The demon's power was suppressed in a moment—of course, this might be an illusion. After all, Lin Feng didn't understand energy perception or mental scanning. He just felt that the weird moon summoned by Vivian was brighter than the flames in the cloud layer...

Under the blood moonlight shining from the sky, the surrounding undead armors also seemed to lose their targets, starting to wander aimlessly in place. Muyun looked up blankly at the strange moonlight, her ears and the fur on her tail slowly standing up one by one. "I feel... a little uncomfortable..."

"Boom!"

A loud noise broke the brief stalemate. The sea of fire in the sky surged wildly, the vortex fully opened, and an immense demon thunderously landed on the ground, causing the earth to shake.

Lin Feng and Muyun instinctively stepped back several steps.

A figure burning with raging flames slowly stood up from the flying dust, and as the dust dispersed, the figure of the demon was revealed: it was a giant humanoid creature standing at five meters tall, with legs curved like goat hooves and strong, powerful arms. His skin was as dark as iron, every bulging muscle covered with cracks oozing with fire and magma. The raging flames formed the armor of this demon, and molten iron dripped slowly from the cracks in his skin. The demon's entire body seemed like an erupting volcano, full of pressure, and the temperature was astonishing—the flames and lava on his body were definitely real.

Lin Feng strained his neck to get a clear view of the demon's face. What he saw was a cold, cruel face as if carved from obsidian. The demon had facial features, but every orifice was emitting flames, as if this appearance existed only to make him look more ferocious. And on top of this demon's head were a pair of curved

 long horns, like those of a black mountain goat.

Lin Feng noticed that one of the demon's horns was broken, about one-third of its length from the end.

When Vivian saw this demon, she was stunned and did not launch an attack immediately because she found... this demon seemed to be different from the species she was familiar with.

Although the momentum and general appearance were similar, it was still not the type of demon she had seen before—she didn't know if it was a good idea to attack an opponent of unknown species, strength, and fighting style.

The demon, however, paid no attention to Vivian's vigilant gaze. He just lowered his head and searched the surrounding ground, then found Lin Feng, who was almost petrified. A thunderous roar came from the demon's mouth: "#@￥#!￥%@%￥##@?"

Lin Feng: "?"

"@#￥#%#,#@#%#?"

Lin Feng was surprised to find that this demon was talking to him—but who the hell could understand demon language!

It seemed that the demon himself had realized this problem. He showed a look of sudden realization (Lin Feng guessed that expression should be one of sudden realization, after all, it would be difficult to see a demon's expression in a ball of flames), then reached out and seemingly pulled out a metal plate from nowhere. The metal plate was the size of a desktop, but in the demon's hands, it was at most a tablet. The demon tapped and swiped on the metal plate for a while, then bent down and tried to align his line of sight with Lin Feng's

Vivian had been holding back for a long time and finally fell down at this moment.
